Windows XP doesn't include Parents control. This feature was added with Vista."A programmer is just a tool which converts caffeine into code" CLIP- Stellvertreter http://www.winvistaside.de/

Actually, you can download Windows Live Familiy Safety: http://explore.live.com/windows-live-family-safety and get many of the features of Parental Control. I'm not sure if it includes limiting computer access time (it might but it doesn't mention it), but some versions of Windows include reports on how much time was spent online so you can at least know after the fact (and again, it doesn't specify which versions it applies to). But it's worth a try seeing as Vista's Parental Controls aren't available in XP.Here's an article on how to add controls in XP to limit online access time:http://www.exnol.com/built-in-parental-control-in-windows-xp-control-the-time-users-can-login-to-your-computer. This may do the trick for what you want here.I hope this helps.Good luck!
